As she circled him, James turned on his heel to face her. It was easy enough; the way she was moving around him meant that he could make smaller movements than her and still keep up. "So many questions... I guess I'll just answer them in order. I have lied to you, but not about everything. In fact I've been more honest with you each passing day. And I do care about you. You're very important to me, and I intend to make you very happy. I'm afraid I will have to make you very miserable first, but in the long run I know you'll appreciate it. What I did to Fred... that served many purposes. It hurt you, it clouded your judgment, it showed you that you can't save anyone, it let me get closer to you, and it amused me greatly. Though not as greatly as I had hoped. Fred was a boring little girl, in the end." He tossed his head back, his hair flipping over his shoulder as he continued to pivot and keep his gaze on Belle.
"And finally, Belle, what would I gain from killing you? It would be such a waste of all your... gifts..." His eyes roamed her body as he said it, lest there was any doubt what he was talking about. "And it wouldn't solve the slayer problem. You die, another rises, and I still have all the same problems. They could even be worse; the next slayer might not be so easy to fool. Or so easy on the eyes. No, Belle, I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to destroy the slayer." He grinned. "And you're going to help."
